Hi! I'm glad you're in remission. I am too, (even though I have to take meds still). Basically what I notice is that when I'm feeling a flare come on, I immediately go to basic foods. I never eat...
Thanks Imagardener! Really cool! I'll check out the site. The thing about the pills is that I live in Spain, so I don't know of any compounding farmacies here. there are some in LA where I'm from, of...
perhaps...but if you follow the SCD diet those are strictly forbidden. Sugar, starches, these are all things that cause the IBD to flourish....
this might account for the reason that as soon as you stop taking the stuff, flare-up! The reason being is that the bad ingredients feed the evil microorganisms, and without the good ingredients to...
I was just reading the ingredients on the mesalamine tablets and enemas and they all contain some illegal ingredients. I don't understand why they put this stuff in there. For example in Pentasa,...
Originally from Southern California, (Los Angeles) I currently live and work in Spain... Diagnosed with UC about 5 years ago......
Mackster i feel ya. Sometimes I think its a mixture of dietary and medication that can take you out of the flare. Entrecort is supposed to be better than prednisone.....But I've been taking those...
Ugh, do you think that its really bad to be on Entrecort enemas that long? I couldn't find anything else that helped really. I'm trying to lower but what to do.... I'm hoping to lower to one...
I'll try the melasamine enemas again... the thing is I had a problem retaining it. Perhaps it will be easier this time....also had the feeling it didn't work that well. Maybe it'll work better this...
Well I tired one, one day, 2 the other- switching between one and two, for one week. I've had UC for about 4-5 years...or thats how long I've been diagnosed. Initially it was with...
HI folks A quick question. I've been taking entrecort enemas for a WHILE. I'd like to start tapering but whenever I started lowering the dosage, symptoms start to come back again. I was wondering if...
Dr Bedford (rudolph), LA....
you definately shouldn't eat beans when having a flare-up. try having organic chicken broth and very cooked and blended carrots. also completely avoid refined sugars. I find that people eat the...
Hi friends my girlfriends mom has had Vascular dementia for some years now. She's in her early 70's but her mind is still clear in some ways. But for the most part, her symptoms seem to get a little...
ah I forgot to mention that when I have a flare up I'll take budesonide enemas, one or 2 a day- morning and night... or just night if thats all it takes. And in addition to that I'll take Lialda, 2...
Hi! I'm a fellow UC sufferer, and I was wondering how many of you eat wheat, sugar, potatoes, coffee, chocolate? I generally notice if I don't have those elements for quite some time, my flare-ups...
by the way, the site was www.pecanbread.com or something like that or just google: pecanbread...
hi! not one person posted an adequate answer here, really! you need to start with the introduction diet. There is a great site with all the phases of the diet. Its a little general, but should help...
Thanks brad! Yeah the diet does well with me. Recently, though, I stayed with some friends, and they cooked food containing yeast (a soup). I had no idea, and flare up ensued. Also had split peas,...
is almond butter an advanced food? Can you eat it, even if it was produced in a factory that works with other illegal foods, even if a microscopic amount of the illegal stuff gets into the almond...
hey! I know its tough, but why dont you at least try the Specific Carbohydrate diet? Read the book by Gotschall and follow the guidlines to the T. The intro diet really helped me. Also helminthic...
Hi all Im talking entrecort enemas. Ive been taking them on and off for that last 3 and a half years. This and lialda are the only things that work for me. I just started the SCD diet, and that seems...
Also like to add that I just spoke with someone at the company and they assured me that all the equipment is cleaned, but it is possible that a mollecule of illegals may get in to the product. She...
Hi folks Ive been following the specific carbo hydrate diet now for a few weeks. Forgive the typo errors, Im using a french keyboard at the moment. Very confusing. anyway.... I was wondering if you...
